The Fight[]

All robots were off as activate was called, Storm 2 targetted Chimera before taking an axe blow from Thor. Storm 2 fought back pushing it away but Thor landed another axe blow on top of Storm 2. Thor then chased Storm 2 into the claw of Tiberius 4 where it was pinned and Thor battered away on the top panel of Storm 2 but The Robot Wars World Champions armour stood up very well to the attacks. Storm 2 broke free but Thor chased down on Storm 2 again jamming it against Chimera and landed more hammer blows to the top of Storm 2, but again Storm 2 retaliated and broke free. Thor then battered the top of Chimera immobilising it before joining in with Tiberius 4 attacking Storm 2 with Tiberius 4 holding Storm 2 down and Thor hammering away on the top of Storm 2. Storm 2 broke away again and was chased by Tiberius 4, but Storm 2 fought back ramming Tiberius 4 into an already immobilised Chimera which flipped it onto its side. In the last 10 seconds of the fight, while Major Damage attacked Chimera, Thor and Tiberius 4 continued ganging up on Storm 2 until cease was called. The judge decided on agression, Thor was the winner.
